NEVER. My husband has been subscribing to the Las Vegas Advisor for at least 7 years. The monthly newsletter is the best publication to receive in the mail on what's coming up in Las Vegas and the articles are all well researched/written. The POV stands in a class by itself. As you said, one or two coupons more than covers its cost. The biggest plus is that you get to try many excellent restaurants on a 2 for 1 basis. We've returned to many of them. All in all, it's a great value.
